This time of year we're always reminded of that expression, "It's better to give then to receive." Generally, though, who really believes that? We want presents!!! But every once in a while, though, a giving opportunity comes along that has the potential to redound to our benefit in a big way.

This is one of those: The LG 80 Series 50 Inch 4K UHD AI ThinQ 2021 Smart TV. Why? Well, aside from being a killer set that will instantly upgrade any living room, den or even bedroom into a theater-worthy viewing space, Walmart has knocked nearly $1,000 off its price. Yep, you read right: You can now get ahold of one of these 2021 all-stars for just $640, down from $1,627.

Needless to say, it's highly unlikely to be in stock or stay at that price point for very long. So, if you gift this to someone on your holiday shopping list, they (after recovering with the help of some smelling salts) will think, OMG, how much did they pay for this? Then they'll have a search online and will likely find it for hundreds of dollars more than you'll be paying right now. So you'll be the recipient of four-digit gratitude and admiration after only paying a three-digit price. It's like your making an investment that's sure to appreciate in value with the lucky loved one(s) you bestow this on. That is what we call smart shopping!

And hey, there's nothing stopping you from getting one for yourself. It's not like you don't deserve it. Right? Right?

So, what is it they (and you — heh, heh) will be getting for this ridoncluous price? How about a 4K quad-core processor that'll produce a 2160-pixel picture, yielding you razor-sharp detail, the highest of contrast and the spectrum-spanning color range. That's state-of-the-art, as is its TruMotion 120 technology, which keeps blurring to a minimum during fast-moving imagery — this is a must-have for sports and action-movie fans.

And you won't be the only smart one in the room: This LG 80 Series dynamo comes with a Magic Remote which, in conjunction with the set's Thinq AI technology, will allow you to control all of your compatible smart-home devices. This set, like all LG UHD (ultra-high-definition) TVs plays well with Hey Google, ApplePlay and Apple Homekit as well.

Got a hankering for some Netflix, Apple TV, Hulu, Disney+, Spotify and the rest? They're just a click away.

Another nice touch? This model has an extra-thin profile making it both space-saving and light, the latter being especially helpful should you decide to mount it on the wall? Speaking of which, get this: A wall-mount bracket is included!

Also part of the bundle: Two HDMI cables, a spray bottle and wipe for easy cleaning and, oh yeah, a one-year limited warranty.

Really what more can we say? When was the last time you saved a thousand bucks and became a holiday hero in the process? Here's your chance. Tick-tock....
